Yeah, corny title I know, but I'm a sucker for that kind of thing.
Anyhoo, the point still stands. After a weekend of being a green, mean, not-getting-killed machine I really do enjoy the Black Orc. So much, actually, that I'd consider making Obersten my new main character. He's almost level 18 by now, so only a few steps after Chefen. And in any case it never hurts to have both a healer and a tank as I make through the chapters.
But back to the weekend. As mentioned in the post below I actually planned to do a post on the three greenskin classes I play. This will not be it. This will be all about da boss. All about Obersten. The one they call Thundermountain... Farting just seem sooo orky!
When I got back to him this friday he was only 11 ranks old. He'd just managed to sneak in his first mastery point, but nothing big yet. When I left him yesterday he was standing on the verge of level 18 and about to recieve his first knockback - great times await ye! As I've been the victim to more lavapunts than I care to admit with Chefen I fully understand the power of the knockback. And I can't wait to punt my first Runepriest or Ironbreaker. Burn, baby, burn!
The plan-mechanic of the Black Orc forces you to use quite a few different attacks. And to weave them in combinations. It's very satisfying to work on the best chain of attacks depending on the opponents. So far Wot Armor, Right in the Jibblies and Skullthumper have been a stable selection of mine. But I suspect Big Swing will move in big time after rank 18 becomes reality.
While PvE is lots of fun RvR is even better. As a healer I know how important it is to use the guard abilities and to help them avoid the pesky dps classes that try to single them out. Communicate with the healers, let them know you got an eye out for them, and they'll send you lots of green lovin' the other way. Level 18-20 will give me some very useful tanking abilities and I really do look forward to using them on the battlefield.
Which leads me to my last bit. Friday afternoon saw a party of Destruction players claiming keep after keep. First the Dwarves felt the hammer, then the pesky Humies and lastly the wimpy High Elves. Despite fierce resistance by a few Bright Wizards and a White Lions everything got burned. Lots of xp, lots of renown and lots of epic fun. Tanking a Lord while the rest of your team struggles to kill everything and everyone around you is really enjoyable. Lobbing a Choppa in the back of that Bright Wizard when he turns to run is just icing on the cake :)
